Using sound muted portion
If you intend to dub the DAT cassette onto an analog
cassette tape, we recommend that you insert sound muted
portions between selections on the DAT cassette.
This will ensure that the AMS function of the analog
cassette deck works correctly for the recorded tape.
Note
With DAT deck, the AMS function is realized by using the
start ID code. (See page 26.)
Caution
To place a space on a DAT cassette, you must not advance
the tape with m® or m. If a space is created this way, no
absolute time code will be recorded on the succeeding
area, and there will be no operation using the absolute time
codes (time search operation, page 34).
To create a sound muted portion of more than 4
seconds
Keep REC MUTE pressed for as long as you want to make
a recorded portion with no signals. After about 4 seconds,
the indicator blinks rapidly. When you release REC MUTE,
the deck enters the record-pause mode.
The interval between selections is indicated in the MARGIN
display.
To create a sound-muted portion of less than 4 seconds
Press REC MUTE, and then i while the REC indicator is
blinking.

If the previous recording was applied to the middle of the
tape, you must locate exactly the last point of the recorded
area, and start the new recording from this point. This will
prevent leaving a blank section on the tape.
If you want space between the last recording and the new
recording, use the REC MUTE button to mute the sound.
